@ wavehawk- Nice surprise to see a fic with Rin where she gets character development and that Yandere moment at the end actually seemed funny and not psychotic, keep up the good work.

- The story isn't over yet. There's still quite a bit to write in.

- Yeah, that's what I aim for. Not a huge change, but something that shold naturally follow in the course of the story. I mean seriously, Lin won't change if she remains in the same environment. She actually has to be goaded by someone outside the circle of people she knows.

Thanks ZeroXSEED, Trying to make Cecilia's backstory as woobiefying as possible was really annoying since she just acts like an entitled snob in the anime.

The next chapter's gonna be the most hectic so far cause the POV will constantly shift between the three protagonists (Ichika- Trying to stop Irish ,Irish- Kidnapping Cecilia for reasons which will be explained later, and Kyuukai- Trying to stop Irish's teammates from planting a bomb) and I have to make sure I don't get their personalities mixed up since Irish will be a villain in the chapter.

I also don't know how to do the apology scene with Houki since my original plan was for her to apologize to Ichika during the first night but I already scrapped that Idea.
BTW that necklace will be important later so be sure to watch for it

The smoke fades, and I can see Ichika is kneeling; his sabre-lookalike sword was held on his left side, ready to be unleashed anytime. The ground on his left and right side is obliterated.

I can see his SP drained…but only a little, and his armor is untouched.

“This is not the end, Ling. This is just the beginning”

His other sword, which shaped like a Wakizashi, was stored in his right waist. Meanwhile, his arm still firm and ready ready on the hilt of the sabre-like weapon…

Impossible…

~MADOKA POV~

Moments before Ichika-nii took off, Chifuyu-nee asked him.

“Are you sure you’ll only bring that HF Wakizashi?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Why you use that one?”

“Because what I need is something to distract the opponent or deflect the attack” Ichika-nii replied “Besides, I’m only good at close combat, even then, I don’t think my skill is enough use Yukihira properly, not yet”

“Idiot”

“Are you sure you’ll only bring that HF Wakizashi?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Before you take-off Ichika, why you use that one?”

“Because what I need is something to distract the opponent or deflect the attack” Ichika-nii replied “Besides, I’m only good at close combat, even then, I don’t think my skill is enough use Yukihira properly, not yet”

“Idiot”

Ironic, people always think me as the true successor of Chifuyu-nee, ironic because Ichika-nii’s skillset more resembles her than me; in fact, I do not prefer close combat unless it’s important to ensure victory.

Even then, it’s seems that even Ichika-nii began to stray from being Chifuyu-nee’s ‘shadow’ as well. He has a penchant for unusual, no, crazy and instinctually-dependant solution. Then again, Ichika-nii saw laws of physic with his eyes instead of thinking about it with his brains.

Compared to Chifuyu-nee who’s doing everything solely by logic, without her well-hidden emotion became weakness.

As of now, Chifuyu-nee once again saw how Ichika-nii can make a miracle by sheer idiocy.

“In the end, I’m still alone right?”

“…no two individual is exactly same, Chifuyu-nee” I said to her “Ichika-nii lacked your smart brain, and I lacked your creativity…neither of us is able to attain your level of performance with exact same method you use to train yourself”

“O-ho playing smart, don’t you?”

“I have your share of intelligence, remember?”

“But…Madoka, how exactly Ichika is able to see it?” Houki was rather agitated to knew.

“Umm, I don’t know, with ByakuShiki’s specialized sensor, it’s possible but even Ichika-nii’s reaction speed is not enough”

“Manually seeing it with Thermal imaging than depending on the sensor calculation”

Eh?

“Using thermal imaging, he could see the slight difference of temperature as the air around the cannon is sucked and compressed” Yamada-sensei smirked.

“Ideal Gas Law states that if the pressure is increased at the same time volume is compressed, the temperature will rise. And since Shenlong form a field to make a barrel…”

I felt like I’m so happy, and smile began to escape my lips unwillingly.

“Since Ichika-nii can saw something at speed and precision normal human cannot do, and that ByakuShiki sensor is state of the art…he could see the barrel instead, and thus predicting the path”

“Exactly, he really has good pair of eyes; he might even able to differentiate 65536 colors exactly” Chifuyu-nee chuckled.

“Oh, I…I see” Houki nodded docilely.

“But this means Ichika already figured how to counter TWO anti-IS weapon, the world will saw him as a big threat by the time this match ended” Chifuyu-nee’s expression turned grim.

“That idiot even doing it with that half-assed technique for the sake of style, I’ll smack him later”

To reiterate, all 3rd Generation IS equipped with specialized anti-IS weapon, something that often could pierce through the protective barrier. Those weapons were controlled by Image Interface system, allowing the user to control the weapon using their mind and tracking enemy solely using their eyes.

By Half-assed technique, Chifuyu-nee might refer to his Tsubame Gaeshi. The swing speed is so high it creates a sonic boom, helping him countering the shock effect caused by Ling Yin’s attack.

Also, activate Yukihira in one or two second only to conserve energy, in a manner suitable for finishing moves. Still, Ichika-nii had not yet conquered the technique fully.

But he also fights using two swords when Yukihira kept in a closed form, when he’s countering Cecilia’s attacks. Rather than power, focusing on speed and number of attacks.

Ichika-nii is both Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro born in one package. With Kojirou’s hot temper and suicidal overconfidence being dominant to Musashi’s witty and creative mind.

~LING’S POV~

*BYASH* *KABOOOM!*

Did that one work?

*PSSSH*

“HUH?!”

Ichika left the dust cloud, still unharmed, I only manage to take out 35 points of his shield, compare to 186 points on the first attack.

His velocity and acceleration are inconceivable, what did he do?! WHAT SHOULD I DO?! He circled me around, toying with me. None of my shot could connect because he’s behind me, and even though I was able to see him, it’s awkward and will took too long to react…

“DAMN IT!”

I charged Ryuuhou once again as I dropped myself downward in hope of evading his attack, but his mobility is beyond belief.

Jia Long never been a speed-type IS…and backstabbing is one of the best ways to take it…Ryuuhou was designed for compensating that weakness being able to fire on all direction, but I don’t think those shockwave cannon, fired at rapidity mode, is enough.

I shot the Ryuuhou at one third the power, and readied my scimitars.

But what I see is…

AMAZING.

He unleashed his sword, so fast that I can only see a blur despite my enhanced visual; the sword changed its form, from 5 foot long Sabre into a humongous 8 foot energy blade, and slices my attack.

Could it be…he deflected some of the Ryuuhou’s power using his sword?

*KLANG!*

Our blades meet and collide as the sword return to its default form; he also unleashed his Wakizashi to counter me who using both Souten Gagetsu.

“EMPEROR ORIMU! FIGHT!”

“ALL HAIL ORIMURA!!!!!”

The spectator instantly roared again, Ichika, is this the power you show them during that battle for deciding Class-representative?

Not only physical prowess, but the power to sway the attention of people without even trying?

Then…

SHOW ME MORE!

“Ichika you…”

“What, Ling?”

“This is only the beginning right? Because your fangirls gonna be disappointed if you fail here”

“…I wonder what you mean with that…but I don’t want to lose”

Strange as it may seems, pitted against him and cornered like this, feels fun.
Maybe, because I’m spending my time with him, even if it’s as enemies in a battlefield…

Or maybe, because I knew that he’s just as strong as ever…even though I don’t want to admit it myself.

Maybe, I want him to be stronger after all…

How was that? I'm afraid I'm sending Ichika all the way to Gary Stu level, even though everyone is upgraded as well.

By the way, a plan for Male OC is in my pocket currently, it's somewhat hard to contact blitz today.....

Sorry, I was in class today. (actually I still am). Zero, I reviewed the flashback and made some editing.

Ha-ha-ha, sorry for hurrying you, by the way, it's GMT +7 In Indonesia and by the time I posted this, it's 01:00 A.M. So, how about you? You mention school, so I guess our Timezone difference is quite high. If you can told me, I guess we can sync our schedule.

Right now, it's 2 pm on my time (ok, fine. 2:07 pm or 14:07 if you prefer 24 hour time)

SO it's about 13+ hours of difference? For real! Then It's mean we're separated in other half of this very earth.

Well, I went to school at 07:00 and back home at 14:30 (which means 20:00 to 03:00 in your place). Considering the difference, I guess I'll contact you in before 06:00 and after 17:00 (19:00 and 06:00 in your place).

Okay, judging from the reviews I got from Fanfic.net, maybe I'll continue on with Chapter 1.

Now, my main problem is what timeframe should I set Project Silverback in. I do plan on have it concurrent with the actual IS storyline. Meaning that the events in Project Silverback are going on at the same time as the actual IS storyline.

The question is, where to set it?

Here's my three cents:

1. Having them trying to hijack Gospel so it goes rogue (assisted by 'mysterious client' aka Tabane). Of course Tabane just using them as scapegoat, meaning that "Thundercrash" put into blame for a terrorist attack they DID NOT successfully accomplished anyway.

Before you ask, no, I never see Tabane as good guys since I read V2. She just doing whatever she wanted, good or evil. And her treatment of Cecilia is too cruel.

2. having them hired by US Army to stop Phantom task via 'backdoor assault' aka covert operation. Although Thundercrash is disbanded, we never knew that FBI or CIA still have their archive and need them for doing 'dirty job'.

3. Actually, JDSF forces that attacked Thunder Crash's base are disguised PT force. They hired by Sarashiki family for assistance and to accomplish their revenge.

@DarkJak- Having them hijack the gospel seems to be the most interesting idea since it coincides most with their goal of taking on the IS and the end result of them being pinned as terrorists could be interesting to work with. Tabane being shown in a negative light is also a plus since her personality doesn't excuse her actions (launching 2000 missiles to japan and and having umanned IS attack the pritagonists) and like zeroXSEED mentioned she isn't very heroic to begin with.

@ZeroXSEED - Lunar base and genocide is going a bit too far now, The giant IS idea is plausible though. Tabane seems batshit insane enough to build one of those.

Need help for Houki apology scene, can't leave it hanging for too long.

@Jak & Eratas; Sorry, I mean Tabane build Giant IS just for the hell of it (or maybe space exploration), but someone (cough*Phantom Task*cough) use it for genocide and took over Tabane's lunar base (also, IS massproduction facility!).

It was just a joke of mine, just use the three basic idea posted above jak. Besides, author of HoTM wouldn't be happy to hear it

This thread is quite a moodswinger, sorry for being so excited, lemme count (if I'm nto wrong)
